Iranian forward Arash Borhani steps down

Schnetzenhausen, GERMANY: Iranian forward Arash Borhani steps down from a busas he returns after a shopping expedition to the team hotel in Schnetzenhausen, northwest of Friedrichshafen, 08 June 2006. Iran's coach Ivanko Brankovic insisted his team were under no extra pressure from the Tehran government as politics continued to dog preparations for their crucial World Cup opener. A possible visit by Ahmadinejad, who has described the Holocaust as a "myth", has prompted consternation in Germany where Holocaust denial is illegal.
